A study of red, reflection, and shifting perception in Venice This series explores Venice as a space of unstable perception, where reality and reflection overlap and fragment. Through in-camera multiple exposures, water, architecture, and figures are layered into images that resist a single reading. Inspired by Nicholas Roeg's film Don't Look Now, red appears as a subtle signal of tension and premonition, inviting a slower, uncertain way of looking, where meaning remains open and just beyond clear perception. No photoshop is used in the processing, just in-camera multi exposure technique.
